There is not any concept of SAP file system backup.....it means OS level file system backup.

SAP R/3 backup can backed up all the sapdata(database) files, controlfiles as well as redologs.

OS filesystem level backup can backed up all the files based on your requirement and rotation.

Both backups you can use for restorations.....SAP R/3 backup will take all the responsibilities in backup as well as in restoration.

but in OS level backup first you must know which files need to be backed up and what exactly the all directoruies contains.
